Hi everyone,
We’re moving house next month and while packing up the loft I found a small tin with a few bits tucked away. There’s an 18 carat gold signet ring, a 9 carat bracelet, some scrap gold from snapped chains, an antique diamond cluster ring, a silver photo frame, and an old silver vinaigrette.
I’ve never sold jewellery before so I’m unsure about the best place to sell gold and antique diamonds locally. Also looking for somewhere straightforward for jewellery & silver for cash without loads of hassle.
I’m just over towards Battle Hill and sold my items with Northern Bullion. I had gold sovereigns, an 18ct curb chain, a 9ct wedding band, antique diamond stud earrings, a silver tankard, and a set of silver cutlery. Everything was weighed and explained clearly before I agreed to sell.
I did look into auctions for a couple of gold coins and a pocket watch I inherited, but auctions are no good due to long wait times and high commission rates, better off using Northern Bullion. I sold everything directly instead and it was much quicker.
After downsizing earlier this year, I sold a mix of items including gold bangles, broken 18ct chains, a 9ct dress ring, antique diamond drop earrings, a silver snuff box, and a pair of silver candlesticks. I sold them with Northern Bullion and found the whole process calm and straightforward.
Over the past year I’ve gradually sold pieces from a small collection — half sovereigns, a bullion bar, a gold mourning ring, antique diamond brooches, silver cigarette cases, and a silver inkwell. I sold my items with Northern Bullion each time and it’s been consistently straightforward.
